ConvertTiles is a new take on unit converter apps. A simple app where different groups of converters live on separate tiles. It is easy to change units through a simple picker and the tiles save your last used units. With a pro subscription you can customize your tiles with a custom unit set and custom accent colors. An optional colored line around each tile can help you easily find the one you are looking for. With 20 different groups almost any unit can be converted. The groups are: Acceleration Angle Area Concentration Mass Duration Electric Charge Electric Current Electric Potential Difference Electric Resistance Energy Frequency Fuel Efficiency Information Storage Length Mass Power Pressure Speed Temperature Volume Please note only 6 groups are unlocked by default. A pro subscription is required to fully unlock all 20.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Boat Units at none against ConvertTiles's 1. Boat Units also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). ConvertTiles's advantage is iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
